IF YOU SEE NO OBJECTION COULD YOU PLEASE PASS.. THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM ME TO LORD NELSON, CHAIRMAN OF GEC.
BEGINS:
2x
DODWELLS, LOCAL AGENTS FOR ALLEN GWYNNE PUMPS HAVE JUST BEEN INFORMED THAT GEC MACHINES HAVE ADVISED THAT THE FIRST 1575HP MOTOR FOR AN ALLEN GWYNNE PUMP BEING SUPPLIED TO HONG KONG ELECTRIC IS LIKELY TO BE LATE DUE TO THE DELAY IN OBTAINING A SPLIT ROLLER BEARING FROM COOPER ROLLER BEARINGS LTD, KINGS LYNN.
2. GEC MACHINES REQUIRE THE BEARING BY MID/END-NOVEMBER IF THEY ARE TO MEET THEIR COMMITMENT TO ALLEN GWYNNE FOR THE FIRST MOTOR AND I UNDERSTAND THAT CRB ARE UNABLE TO PRODUCE THE SPLIT BEARING UNTIL FEBRUARY 1976. AS A CONSEQUENCE, THERE IS LIKELY TO BE A DELAY OF 3-4 MONTHS IN THE DELIVERY OF THE PUMP, WHICH IS CRITICAL TO THE COMMISSIONING OF A NEW 125 MEGAWATT SET BY HONG KONG ELECTRIC. UNLESS EITHER CRB CAN BE PERSUADED TO PRODUCE THE BEARING ON TIME, OR ANOTHER SOURCE OF SUPPLY CAN BE FOUND, THERE WILL BE, INEVITABLY A GOOD DEAL OF PUBLIC COMMENT AND CRITISISM HERE IN HONG KONG WHICH WILL REFLECT ADVERSELY ON GEC,
